The Blue Nose ll was here in Gloucester this weekend. The Blue Nose is a world famous reproduction of a Nova Scotia fishing schooner, pictured on the Canadian dime, natch. The Bluenose ll cost $300,000 to build and the original Bluenose cost $35,ooo in 1921. Bluenose has a long term relationship with Gloucester with a 18 year racing career and her remarkable sailing abilities.
Gloucester is the oldest fishing ports on the East Coast and was settled soon after the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth in the early 1620's. Because of an abundant fish supply, the city quickly grew to one of the largest fishing ports in the world. \
I just love the smell of Gloucester, between the salt air and the fisheries, it's great.
Tomorrow we will be going to a family fun day at the beach. By 7AM, breakfast will be ready, consisting of bacon, eggs, homefries, donuts and coffee. What a great way to start off the day. I'll bring my camera. Catch you all later.
